Beings of Light and Energy

Many years ago, when I first started intensively meditating, I had such a vivid dream I can still remember it clearly today. It was animated in the dream, but here is my attempt to draw the essence of the dream. It's pretty incredible because at the time, the dream's message would be the fundamental building block of what I would learn intensively in Kinesiology and chakra work years later!

Every human has energy within them, differing in the degree or frequency: At some point we have all said something along the lines of “I get good/bad vibes from that person”, or “that person drains me” or "Wow, that person just lights up the room whenever she enters!". You got it! We're all like a lightbulb, with varying degrees of luminosity. Some shine brighter than others. No judgement, it's simply their battery charge, I'll explain this in more depth in future posts.

Let's dig deeper. We eat food to gain energy, right? We absorb energy from the sun’s rays. We all need in-take of some energy source to function and survive. Just because we can’t see or touch it, doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. We can’t touch the sun’s powerful rays but we can feel it. So if we absorb and use energy, we ARE energy and thus expel energy. One such form of expelled energy from our body, is heat. Heat can not be seen by the unassisted human eye, but we can definitely feel it. We can feel each other’s other form of energy. And we can feel our own.

"If you want to find the secrets of the universe, think in terms of energy, frequency, and vibration"

- Nikola Tesla

This beautiful energy has been recognised and understood throughout human existence. Some cultures call it aura, energy field, prana, kundalini, shakti, biofield, luminous energy field etc and you can see it's incredible depiction in great works of art as halos and emanating light behind spiritual figures.

We share, we take and we give energy to each other: A group of people that mutually ‘share’ energy can build on each other’s energy leaving everyone feeling refreshed, energised, revitalised and radiant. A group of negative energy will in reverse, leave participants feeling drained, lack-lustre and unhappy. 

A person ‘overpowering’ another person, will walk away feeling triumphant, full of energy and confident. The latter party, may feel deflated, uncertain and drained. A mother voluntarily offers her energy to her child through comfort and reassurance. The child feels its mother’s love and it fills her cup. A bully will ‘steal’ energy from its victims. A friend will share his/her energy with an unwell or lack-lustre friend, but might find themselves feeling ‘drained’ afterwards. In doing so, his/her friend will feel ‘better’.

If we do not receive ‘enough’ energy through eating, sleeping/resting, exercising, meditating, we will seek and pull it from other sources – usually, another person. This is really important to understand. This concept is the basis of many, if not all, of my client sessions.

Positive energy attracts positive. Negative energy usually repels positive but attracts more negative: Law of Attraction. More on this later.

Why is understanding our energy so important? 

We ARE our energy. It IS our health. Understanding our energy helps us understand the state of our well-being. Understanding energy and how we strengthen and weaken our energy makes us aware of healthy and bad habits, allows us to recognise energy of other people and allows us to understand how we can "change our energy and change our lives" (Belinda Davidson is my go-to inspiration here!)

There is another Source, an infinite and replenishing source of energy: And it can be 'tapped' into, through the practice of deepening with Presence. Through mindfulness meditation. Or any practice of stillness or presence. I highly recommend Eckhart Tolle’s The Power of Now to explore and deepen this fundamental understanding and practice of stillness and Presence.

A person who learns to receive this source, is sustained. They feel truly rejuvenated and replenished each time they open to this source of energy. They can share their abundant new found energy freely to those around them without ‘losing’ themselves. They need less energy from other sources to sustain themselves. They are less affected by low-energy people. They are more ‘in-tune’ with energy around them. In spiritual masters and teachers, this energy is continuously overflowing and it radiates all around them, so much so, that even people that are usually ‘numb’ to it, can feel it. And drawn to it.

In this spiritual practice, we evolve from being a Battery to a brilliant Lighthouse. 

So, it was from this dream all those many years ago, that I started to recognise the energy in people and how this energy interacts with each other.

There are many paths, many ways to connect with this infinite energy, find a path that feels right for you. One that feels good, lifts you and nourishes you.

This flow of energy is the fundamental concept in many spiritual practices and life-style principles, Yoga, Tibetan practices, Chinese Medicine and Acupuncture, Kinesiology (as a modality), Ayurveda etc.

Some helpful journal prompts

1. How am I feeling today? Tired, lethargic, unmotivated? Or passionate, joyful and ready to say YES to what Life has in store for me?

2. What do I do to fill up my battery?

3. How do I receive energy to fill my battery charge? Do I take/pull it from others around me? (this can be a hard one to acknowledge, but is a significant catalyst to your growth in choosing differently)

4. Who or what drains my energy in my life? How do I feel afterwards? Is this good for me?
